nm might be a marketing term, but it's sure as hell meaningful. This goes double here as we're comparing between TSMC 7nm and TSMC 5nm, of which the latter is definitively superior in power efficiency.

Similarly, benchmarking is a core component of CPU evaluation, allowing for isolated (and combined) analysis of the CPU's performance characteristics.

Handwaving both of these away is extremely misleading.
